Yeah. But that what's businesses do - if they pay you what it's worth they'll never make profit. I still think it sucks though I agree
Guess that's why I don't own a business
I also enjoyed how this guy Robert Bruce came in an completely devalued this guys dawn of the dead poster that he though was worth hundreds, and it was rolled up, folded up and looked like crap lol

Then you'll hate that new showing coming to the travel channel called Toy Hunters. The guy on the show really tries to low ball people to get their stuff then has the audacity to over-inflate the price to make a profit. Me & Vman saw the pilot episode & the guy is a total douche.

Interesting. See I think on Pawn Stars he comes clean with them about having to add a markup etc. If it's not like that then yea I would think he was a douche too.

The host wanted to buy a prototype of the Star Wars Boba Fett figure with a rocket that fires. He wanted to give the owner $5K for it. The owner said no so the host said that he'll sell it for him and the host will take 20% of the final price. He sold the figure at last years NYCC for $17K

I don't get it. I know we're watching a tv show, staged for that purpose - but why give your precious grails to this douche? Ever hear of the Internet? Ever hear of an auction? I wouldnt give that guy jack sh1t to sell.
